Okay, we all know the thrill of finding something rare, unusual, or very old in change. But what do you do when confronted with this:...
Good point. Now all we have to do is figure out how to normalize the effort of: mopping floors for ten minutes working on a computer for one...
Heck, I could take it down cheaper than that -- a penny would probably do almost the same job. A few ounces of scrap steel would do even better....
"A fixed commodity"? Really? Between 2001 and now, the price of gold in dollars has gone up 5.75 times, and the price of silver in dollars has...
If you keep your eyes open, you can get walkers for well under melt, shipped, on eBay. I saw one lot of 25 go for $229.50 plus $2 shipping just a...
Just one word: carbon. :) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graphene#Graphene_transistors...
Looks like there were at least two bidders thinking "half eagle". Wonder what the buyer will find? Every once in a while you find someone on...
I happened across this auction maybe 90 seconds before it closed:...
Heh. :) Come to think of it, that time I found the guy dumping silver into a CoinStar, he did jam the machine, and somebody from the...

What's a "TD bank" machine? Last week I found (on separate days) a sixpence and a ten-pence coin sitting on the CoinStar machine. I can...

20 rolls of halves from the bank that told me they had two boxes from their supplier, then told me they didn't. All CWR; all pre-searched. Nada....
I'm guessing it'll be a while before I see them. Here are links if you're curious: 0.001g 30g Digital Milligram Gram Scale Balance Weight...
I love to see hard numbers. :) I just ordered a pair of scales from cBay (as I call the cheap Hong Kong importers on eBay), one 300g x 0.01g and...
I think the prophets of that period were too fixated on "chips" and "implants". I suppose one can hardly blame them, having just been vouchsafed a...
GOLD-BONDED -- well, at least it won't be itchy!
First bank: 4 loose halves, 1 40%. Next bank: 3 halves, all clad. Next: none. Next: no loose ones, but $440 in the vault from their...
I get charged 7.75% sales tax here, because localities can impose levies as well. We already round things just to get to the nearest penny....
